Still Standing would not have been possible without the loving generosity of Gary and Robin Maganaris. I am grateful for their belief in this project and their financial backing, but I know that this blessing came at a terrible cost. On October 6, 2002, Robin’s sister, Raye Rapoza, her 4-year-old daughter, Tehani, and her unborn daughter, Sienna, were killed in a tragic car accident.

Raye and Tehani had been a part of our spiritual community, Sunday At 6, and had come to faith and active participation in large part due to the impact of the music we performed week after week. Terry Butler’s “Psalm 19” was Raye’s favorite worship song.

The album liner notes say it best:

Still Standing is dedicated to the memory of Raye, Tehani and Sienna Rapoza. Much love and many thanks to Gary, Robin, Kelsey and Steven for making this record possible. Your generosity is astonishing.
